Hot Chocolate by Elizabeth!

Hello Everyone,

This month I have used the colours suggested by the Hot Chocolate theme and I've really tested myself by creating a double page layout ... I have only ever made single page layouts till now.

The reason for the double page is that I had so many photos of the Shell Garden, taken from different parts of the garden showing some of the special features, it seemed a shame to leave any of them out.

To give a bit of interest to the embossed base card I've splashed chocolate and raspberry coloured paints randomly around. There's very little patterned paper in the layout - I thought the photo's provided more than enough pattern - just the Kraft Kuts die-cut, split in two over the layout and a few scalloped circles punched from Bella BLVD's Family Circle paper, used as embellishments.

Title letters are from various sources as are the flowers and doilies. The shells are from Cornwall. 

Because the photos were all different sizes this proved to be a difficult project, however, I am pleased with the end result, but it could be a long time before I tackle a double page layout again.

Thanks for looking,
Elizabeth
